After watching the vignette the toothache for your Week 9 assignment, I want to pose the question listed at the end of the transcript for this video. This vignette and additional training videos was created by the Department of Health and Human Services and more training can be found at “Think Cultural Health.”
Dr. Smith has begun to implement practices that will move his office to become more culturally competent and more linguistically appropriate in provide oral health care. He also recognized that the community he works in has become more diverse and a lot of his population speaks Spanish, so he hired Dr. Rodriguez to help reach more members of the community.
Question: What else do you think Dr. Smith can do to start implementing culturally and linguistically appropriate services in his practice?
